Matt Harvey‘s starts quickly became an event with Mets fans, so much so that the day that he would start began to be called “Harvey Day.” There’s a very good chance that there won’t be another “Harvey Day” until 2015 after his Tommy John surgery, but the ace right-hander indicated on his Twitter account this morning that he is still holding out hope that he’ll make it back this season:

Harvey, who underwent Tommy John surgery on October 22, began his throwing program two weeks ago and is in the process of increasing his workload on flat ground. Clearly coming back this season is a motivating factor for him, but the Mets don’t expect him to contribute at the major league level this season. However, if all goes according to plan, “Harvey Day” should be back in full swing at the start of 2015.
